Introduction
In Retail Business, the item label information is changing frequently and retailers should always be ready to print the updated labels and attach them to their items and the shelves as required.
In iVend there are multiple places where the user can print the labels (Item Label Printing, Shelf Label Printing and the Inventory Transaction Receiving screens). In this Article, we are going to explain how to use Excel to import labels.
Excel Preparation
We need to prepare the Excel sheet with the following columns with the exact names as they are shown here:
· ID
· QuantityToPrint (Note that there are no spaces in this column heading)
· Price
· Weight
Importing the Excel sheet
Once the Excel sheet has been completed and filled in with all the required labels that need to be printed, the user can import it in the Management Console form the following locations:
· Reports > Designer / Label > Item Label printing
· Reports > Designer / Label > Shelf Label Printing
Once successfully updated, items will be imported and displayed on the screen, ready for printing.
In earlier versions of iVend such as version 6.4.2, while using the Item Label Printing feature with the [Import Record] button in the Management Console, if there is no sheet in the Excel Import file with the name, “Sheet” then the system throws an error “'sheet$' is not a valid name”, therefore make sure the import sheet in the file is named appropriately.
